I love sketch challenges and as Sharyn said - half the work is done for you.

Now we just need to make a card with our take on it.

I must admit the first card I started just wasn't right so

landed in the bin lol

Now this card I was really happy with because I went

to my favourite Stampin' Up set - Vintage Vogue

and what better colours to use but SU Rich Razzleberry for the

flowers and Memento Pistachio.

I started with the basic white card stock

and after inking and masking the strips of paper

with another stamp from

Vintage Vogue I adhered to the base.

Added a strip of DP from Creative Memories and punched

the bottom part with a MS Punch.

The Spellbinders Lacy Circle was cut from a scrap piece of

scrapbooking paper then followed by the white from Spellbinders Standard Circles

inked with the flower. I inked several more flowers and fuzzy cut

curled and popped them to add to the top and also the side as per sketch.

Finished off with tiny rhinestones in the circle and 2 larger ones on the

edge of the strip. Also pearls from Kaisercraft to 2 flowers

and a mauve Sparklet on the other flower.

Hope you liked my interpretation of this great sketch.

I am also entering this card in the Just for Fun Challenge HEREhttp://laineyscraftyspace-justforfun.blogspot.co.uk/
We are required to use our favourite colour.
Those that know me are well aware that mine is PURPLEMaybe it is because my favourite flower is a thistle. I know it is a weed but being a Scot you have to love them.I would also like to be considered for GDT.

About Me

I am happily retired and now enjoy spending my time making cards. I like a variety of styles from CAS to Mixed Media and anything that looks like fun.
